Went shopping today at my favorite antique store (where I am known as Mr. Choo choo) and picked up a like new Marx diesel engine-M10005 with 3 freight cars and a caboose all in great condition. With it was the original box and a good transformer plus track. Nice to plunk down $30 cold cash and walk out with it. Brought it home and it runs like a champ. It looked so absolutely retro humming around my layout, I laughed.

Mr. Choo Choo,

I'm going to have to track down that antique store, asking if they know Mr. Choo Choo until I find the right one! Just kidding, I don't have the time to hunt around, but it shows to go ya, that there are a lot of trains out there a retiree or someone else on limited income can buy and have a load of fun with!

I see our Favorite Store, Trader Horn, closed their doors for the last time. So sad. That is where I met you for a secret train transfer in the parking lot. eek lol
